One of the most awarded and acclaimed artists internationally, Federico Aguilar Alcuaz has extensively exhibited his works — having held exhibits at leading galleries in the Philippines, Spain, Portugal, Germany, and The US among others no less. It was in Spain that Alcuaz’ style had evolved, and meld with the European flair that now permeates through his abstractions. This stylistic evolution was quickly followed by acclaim, awards and adulation — including first prize at the Premio Moncada (1957) and the Prix Francisco Goya (1958) in Barcelona to name a few. This pair of works were done in Barcelona in 1963, a year before he was bestowed the Order of French Genius and awarded the Decoration of Arts, Letters and Sciences award from the French government.
